The Democratic Candidates.

4
THE REPUBLICAN has had no harsh
words of criticism for the nominees of
the democratic party. The campaign
has been one Of fairness to all, so far as
we have been able to dictate. These
gentleman have been selected as the
representatives of the democratic party.
If democrats have power and are will
ing to assume the responsibility of elect
ing them to Office, we have no DISPOSE
ton to disconcert their plans. Perhaps
the candidates are worthy. At any rate
it is democratic right.
1t is certain and no reflection upon
their characters, as democrats, that
these nominees are wholly unworthy Of
republican votes. AS democrats their
candidacy should enlist the aggressive
opposition of republicans. For that
they are democrats they deserve defeat
at the hands of republican voters.
They are part and parcel of the party
that has gained supremacy in the ma
ton by the suppression Of votes and the
practice of fraud; the party that is OPP
posed to pure government in Iowa and
favors establishment of the saloon. The
democracy of Audubon county is a
portion of the greater organizations,
and approval or disapproval Of demo
cratic principles should be expressed in
the vote on the democratic county
ticket.
Those candidates who have held Of
flee have shown no superior ability
to entitle them to general support but
on the contrary, in one instance at least,
such gross incompetency has been
shown as to reflect upon the intelligence
of the party, and the fact of re-nomi-
nation having been secured is only eI-
planned by the fine working order in
which the bosses have the party ma
chinery.
The nomination of those who appear
on the ticket for the first time is a rec
ognition of the younger members of the
party, at the expense Of the wheel

borne the heat and burden of the day
when the party was dominant in county
affairs. The claims Of these gentlemen
were ignored and they were sent to
their homes with the remark that the
party mad no further use for them. The
organization in the town of Audubon

cured all of the desirable offices. If
their management of affairs meets the
approval of democrats and they will
assume responsibility Of their conduct
of the offices, the party should give
them a full vote, but republicans must
antagonize their candidacy, and make
, their defeat certain on Tuesday next.

They Do Not Harmonizs.

The principles of the democratic and
union labor parties do not harmonic
in any particular. The state organiza-
lions recognize the irreconcilable differ.
ence and cannot fsse.
The first has resolved i'm favor of OPEN
ing American ports to old and establish.
ed factories of England, destroying our
industries and throwing operatives out
Of employment. The second is in favor
of protection to American labor.
The first is the creature and tool of
corporations. Ten of the eleven mem
bers of the committee on resolutions in
state convention were railroad or cor
poration attorneys; the candidate for
governor is a railroad attorney. The
second is avowedly opposed to the die
tation of corporations, and processes
anti monopoly tendencies.
The first, by the action of its presi-
dent, would give the millionaires of
Wall street first right to lands, as in the
Des Moines river case, where settlers
were denied the privilege of contesting
their right in the courts, as against the
usurpations of presidential pets. The
second is in favor of opening public do
main to actual settlers.
The first halts the admission process
sion from Dakota at the portal of state
hood, and by fraud and intimidation
suppresses the vote of an innumerable
host in the south. The second is in ia
vor of fair representation and a fair
ballot.
The first would establish saloon on
every corner and invest it with man
tie of responsibility to degrade and ruin
labOring men. The second is pledged
to elevate and educate mankind.
The first has raised 5000 for the
corruption of the ballot. The second
believes that every citizen is entitled to
ballot untrammeled by these in
tluenCes.
And comparisons might be continued
indefinitely, but these suffice to show
the lack of harmony in the principles
the bosses would weld in fusion. If the
union labor voters will be true to the
platform upon which they stand they
will turn a deaf ear to the entreatieS of
those who are under contract to deliver
their vote to the democratic senatorial
and legislative ticket.

A Traitor to his Party.

The manager-in-c of the union la
Dor party is under contract to deliver
that vote to the democrats. The sole
end he would attain is the election of
Graham. 1t matters not at how much
expense to the rest OF the union labor
ticket. In the general ticket he has no
interest. 1t was only nominated as a
cloak behind which to play his game for
Graham. All of the other candidates
will be sacrificed or traded for a vote
for Graham. The straight conscien-
tious union tabor p1tGrs owe no al.
legiance to this demagOgue. He assert
ed his power to boss III the convention
by carrying the nomination of Graham
against the outspOken opposition, and
thus forced rank and rabid democrat
upon them, but the spirit of independ,
ence so loudly boosted as one of the
cardinal principles of the union labor
party, should actuate them to make the
opposition to Graham at the polls. IT
would seem that 10 member of the par.
ty could be SO blind to facts as To think
that Mr.. Graham is one Of their mum.
Der. lie never acted with them, has
not worked with them since the nomi
nation, except as communicated through
Waitman, 1t is all plain plan to get
union labor men to vote for rabid,
mOss-backed, rock-roOted democrat. All
Of the other candidates will be sacrificed
for vote for Graham.
Will the whole party be hoodwinked
and made strikers for Waitmau and
help him to earn the contract price, Oh
will they resent the insult to their intel
ligence and honor by showing that theil
ballots are not a marketable eo4mod
ityf
The party should show the traitor
and boodler that they cannot endorse
his traffic in ballots.

The Doodle Fund.

While J, s. Tam is posing al the un'
compromising and aggressive friend
and champion of the farmer and poor
man, it is quite refreshing to know that
he has an ample fund to see him safely
through the campaign. OF course a
special and astute agent for shyster in
surance companies couldn't leave his
business with its $40 . day and ex:
penses and do the poor mans friend
act without some compensation, or
enough to make his course a flowery
path. A special agent is accustomed to
luxury, and to deprive him of it is to
terminate existence, To keep Tam
comfortable and the inside end of his
bottle cork from becoming dry, fund
of $500 has been raised and is at his dis,
posal. This sum is being literally dis,
hursed among all the boOdlsrs af tbs
district, and has marshaied all the gas
bags to the stump in behalf of the colo.
mel. Messrs. Garnes, Tabor and DeFord
of Guthrie county, are trying hard to
earn their share of the swag, while. Oc'
tayius Phineas Waitman Is appr0priat;
ing a goodly sum to his own dear self
and hugging his corpulence for his Gun
ming, Several newspapers that have
devoted space to stereotyped eulogies OF
Tam have also been benehciaries Of the
fund. The insurance companies whose
interests Tam will manipulate, if elect,
ed, have given him this strong backing
in tho canvass. iie Is the manner OF
tool they need at Dies Moines, 30 he is
able to command tribute FROM the most
arrogant corporate monopolies doing
business in iowa. 1t is grand hood

Three Soldier Candidates.

THE REPUBLICAN of last week re-
minded the public Of the recognition
of union soldiers by places on the re-
publican county ticket. Messrs. Jones
and stantield. respective nominees for
treasurer and sheriff, were mentioned,
but we are gratifed to make a correc.
ton demanded by the facts in the case
and state that three of the nominees on
this republican county ticket are veter,
ans of the late war, The name to be
added to the list is that Ut }. 81 lliil,
candidate for surveyor, who was a
member of Co. Is, 48th Iowa |. Y. com,
| manded by the gallant Col. Henderson,
now Of dubuque. 1t is an excellent
record for the party i'll the county that
it shows Q preference for those whose
services were freely offered and given
in times of direst need. 1t 10 also a
credit TO the party that the men thus
selected have such ample qualifications
and are so thoroughly competent to
perform the duties of the respective
offices. All are good men and will poll
the full party vote.

THIS is positively the last appearance
of Graham's letter. and we invite dem.
ocrats to peruse it carefully and carry
it to the polls on election day. Preserve
it, for we feel confident in asserting that
Waitman's white-winged ward will new
er again pen a paragraph of similar
purport. The lamp of genius burns but
once in life time for such produc-
ton. Preserve it as the utterance Of
the man whom you honor; as your
brothers opiniou'of the party in which
you believe: as proof of your IDOLS
party fealty; as relic of the days
when a candidate could traduce and
ridicule his party, and still plead for
votes. Preserve it as one of the state
documents of Boss Graham. Cut it out
and paste it.

Anarchists Doomed.

The supreme court of the United
States denied the application of counsel
for the seven condemned anarchists, OF
Chicago, yesterday, without dissenting
opinion. Their decision is exhaustive,
covering all the points raised. 1t is the
last resort, and unless executive Glenn
ency shall interpose, which is wholly
improbable, the sentence of the lower
court will be executed on the 18th inst
The doomed men received the news
with stolid Indifference. and as from
the first, show no appreciation of OIL
repentance for the crime they have
committed against the country. They
acknowledge no social or political obi
cations. They will expiate their crime
on the gallows one week from tomorrow
They will pay their seven lives for those
of the seven policemen whom they muir
dered in the most cruel manner con
ceived by plotting genius. The proper
ty destroyed and the seeds of anarch.
sown will not be compensated.
The country approves the final deci
sion.

Tam a Leopard.

The campaign being waged by J. 5.
Tam, the fusion candidate for senator,
is alike disgraceful to the candidate as
well as the party which placed him in
nomination. 1t must certainly be hu,
initiating to that party that In hopes of
catching votes he will cast odium on
his own party and pledge his support
to another. Tam is making very Wig
orous campaign and industriously push
ing his own interests. He has not at
any time been announced to speak in
this county, but has nevertheless had
his strikers corral an audience before
whom he would appear and utter con:
glomeratiOn of general gush, and pose
in his bombast as a man-eating anti
monopolist. He has stealthily made
the rounds of his district, but has not
made an open canvass. BY his snake
like movements he has been able to
pose in various positions without at
tracing the attention of opposing fac
| tioua,
But Tam has at last eclipsed the re
cord of all politicians, and at the same
time committed an act of nerfa,;;; anu
treason that will make him fit subject
for the scron Of honest men. While
posing az u democratic candidate fol-
state senator, and hobnobbing for fusion
with the union labor contingent, he has
written letters to republicans pledging
his vote, if elected, for Justice Reed, a
republican, for United States The Col
onel is very versatile in resources, and
has a pledge for every voter, but the
campaign has been too long for such
leopards as the Stuart insurance agent
His plans do not stand Investigation
and by comparison conflict. What will
our democratic friends think of theil
candidate promising over his own sig
nature to vote for arepublican L $. sena
tor? Will the colonel fulfil his pledge
to republicans and vote for Reed; OIL
does he lie in these letters, and still eX
pect to support BoOdler Sovereign fol
SENATOR Either conclusion proves
Tam to be an unmitigated falsifer Of
the deepest dye.
No republicans will be caught BY
Tam's crooked promises, and demo
Gratis should disown man who reflects
the implied insult that that party has nj
member fit for United States senator
Spot Tam, the leopard.

REPUBLICAN RESPONSIBILITY

The republican party in AUDUBON
county has safe majority ana lhe
power to iduct the entire ticket to ONCE
if it so elects. The majorities Oh the
state ticket in the two last elections
have been decided, and were such as
should give full confidence in the result
II the available vote is polled.
The majority that tn" 0t"te TICKET
receives should Dc given to the county
candidates. The principles that con-
troll the greater are upheld and RGpre-
scented In the other. IL the county or
canization may he found men who are
outspoken opponents Of the controlling
principles, and to them all citizens who
would appropriate thr name OF the
marty are under obligations to support.
The spirit of fealty to the greatest and
best party in this greatest of republics
is paramount to any obligation that
may be contracted in business or social
life. 1t cannot dictate TO citizen that
his support be given to one unworthy
of the vote cast with the commentator
of conscience, but as part of the power
of pure government the ticket should
receive the hearty and unqualified sup
port of each member of the party.
Every effort to stir up strife and dis
sension among republicans is in TIL
interests of the democratic party, ant
every citizen working against part o
the whole Of the ticket, whether in tn
name of republican OF democrat, is CIV
ing aid to the democratic party. Dem
ocrats only have hope Of electing on
or more of their nominees by securing
republican votes. tits their only mean
of diyerting disaster and the entire dc
feat of their whole ticket. Every IT
publican should be on guard and Sc
that no aid is given the sinking demo
cratic ship.
1t is very fortunate while these cor
ditions exist that the ticket placed il
nomination 10y republicans is compose
of worthy men. men who are compt
tent and honorable and who are S
thoroughly qualified, and who are VOL
thy Of the support of all republicans.
Let every republican exercise all dill
gence and enterprise in getting out
full and straight vote Oh next Tuesday
to the end that the strength of the part
may be given the county ticket. Tn
majority is with republicans. Let then
claim it as their own. by casting flu
vote for the whole ticket. Republican
will be responsible for the verdict mex
Tuesday. Lett be outspoken and plai
in favor of the party whose principle
we prize.
